    As others have said the supplements can help.
    Would be worth checking with podiatrist to see if its a biomechanical.issue that can be relieved with cast orthotics (dont bother with anything less than cast for hunting) bending down, kneeling on concrete etc all the time in building is tough on knees. Some focused remedial.exercise can help too. Building muscular strngth can help.with ensuring proper motion etc. All of this said without.knowing your phyisical state. Im fit but my knees still benefit from focused remedial work.

    Most people with sound knees can afford to up their workload without any comeback. Once you damage a joint it's ability to perform is compromised and you need to pay more attention to the details of your preparation. I would suggest a visit to a podiatrist. I have always had a hard paper round and after sixty odd years of abuse many joints are just about f*****. Some years ago I was attending a podiatrist to have ingrowing toenails treated and he asked if he could show me something. He put a gel like substance on the bottom of my feet and asked me to step onto some paper a bit like blue hand towel. The resulting imprint was what you would expect from Daffy the Duck. My arches were completely shot. He made me bespoke inserts that I wear in my shoes and they have improved things. I always had the stamina for long hikes, never the speed, but the stamina and the inserts didn't change that but now I might be a bit stiff on Monday but before it used to be Thursday some times before I was walking right.
